Unibet Open Bucharest: Nine Players for €65,830
It's the big day at the JW Marriott Bucharest Grand Hotel! In just a few hours, one player will be crowned as the winner of the 2023 Unibet Open Bucharest Main Event, and win the €65,830 first-place prize. But there is still a long way to go, as nine players out of 360 entrants are still in the competition.
Among the finalists, Eduard Norel will start the final table in first place as he bagged the chip lead after Day 2 with 1,970,000 chips, almost 80 big blinds. He is closely followed by Max Broens (1,760,000), and by Romania's Dragos Anton (1,725,000). Dwayne Sluis (1,425,000) and Day 1 overall chip leader Robert Burlacu (1,260,000) will also be back with more than one million chips.
In the second half of the chip counts, Ivan Alin Constantin will start the final table with more than 30 blinds (920,000). Same situation for Sorin Flutur (855,000). But it will be a bit more complicated for Bjorn Samuelsson (470,000) and Bart Van Dijk (310,000), who'll both be back with less than 20 blinds.

Flush over Straight on the River
Level 22
: Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante
Dragos Anton raised to 65,000 from early position, and he was only called by the chip lead, Eduard Norel, from the big blind.
Anton bet 75,000 on a board of Q♦A♦K♠ and Norel check-called. Then after Norel checked again the turn 3♠, Anton fired a big second barrel of 250,000.
Norel check-called once again to find 10♠ on the river. But this time, Norel lead out with a bet of 350,000. Anton threw a chip in front of him to call with J♠J♥ for a straight. But Norel hit the nut flush on the river with A♠9♠ to win this pot.

Ivan Alin Constantin: Q♠Q♣
Dwayne Sluis: K♦K♣
Constantin was standing up and ready to leave after the board 5♦2♦8♦ and the turn 10♥ were revealed. But the Q♥ landed on the river to give him a set and make him double up.

Anton called again. But on the river 8♦, he bet 245,000. Broens called with A♠J♠ for top pair, but Anton hit a straight on the river with A♣10♣.
